You don't need to download libwww-perl-5.829.tar.gz separately. You need to install 'gcc' first, if you are getting an error with make. Then type those previous commands. I know for sure as I just tried.

Now for get_iplayer. I've used the instructions on this site and adapted them for VL, with all the steps outlined completing OK.

However, when I issue the command perl get_iplayer, I get this output:
